It is just one dot in Braille, whereas the period is 3 dots.  That is, in
the case of true elipses.  I am a bit puzzled too as to why, in so many
cases, there seem to be extra periods at the ends of sentences...

I think I missed something, although I ususally read
ever post despite the subject line in case the post is
about someting else.

But I don't remember seeing anything about replacing
periods with ellipses. Are ellipses Braille for
periods at the ends of sentences? Are they also used
where ellipses are supposed to be, or is there
something else used there?
